“This module will contain a number of projects and competitions from which to choose, and will include a focus towards audience and client expectations and needs, competitiveness, social and ethical considerations and the identification of design criteria. Design work will continue to develop design exploration studies, in both 2D and 3D, but encouragement will be made to understanding the importance of digital presentation and modelling techniques and related issues in the design process. You will identify an appropriate use for a selected building (or structure) and undertake appropriate research studies to support initial concept proposals, followed by a digital design package of information. Work undertaken in this module will require presentations to be made digitally, verbally and visually to both staff and ‘clients’. 100% portfolio.”

Our Interior Architecture and Design degree at NTU will enable you to discover how space can be formed, light can be controlled, and function and history can be considered, to create architectural space and interior environments that are beautiful and functional. A degree in interior design may include how to approach the styling of interior spaces and the applied decoration of them. On our course you’ll develop key transferable skills and in practice your role will overlap with architecture, interior decoration and interior design.

The aim of this project is to capture and understand the idea of human perception of specific intimate spaces such as a public bath. On a second level, this project is an effort to form an interior space that might induce past memories which still lie within the subconscious mind. These spaces will hopefully influence one’s sensory memory and will reveal past experiences that will in turn, create new memories.
